I could never be a great writer,
I can only write about pain.
I fear love.
I fear the constant heartbreaks
and crippling loneliness.
I fear the uncertainties;
I fear my feelings not being
validated and recognized.
I fear the fights;
my strength is not enough
for love and life.
I could never be a great writer.
My stories will always end
in heartbreak and misery.
I will torture my characters
like life has tortured me.
Truth is, I do not want to be a great writer,
I want to be an exceptional one.
